Very nice figures Glenn, and knowing how Bob mapped my Hawkeye 2.5 WRX I would imagine you get a nice punch of torque mid range whilst keeping the initial pulling away power.
Plus with the longer gearing in the Forester STi it must be a real mile muncher now, I look forward to seeing it at the next meet.

It's a JDM model as they never built the STi for the UK.

I've done a little work for Glenn on the interior of the Forester..
Not sure fully on what oem would have been but it looked like maybe silver followed by a rubber coating then as that started to wear someone painted it sheen black and it was quite a state.
First job clean all the old stuff off de grease then a coat of etch primer.
Then primer and Matt black applied...
Called in earlier and refitted it all..
Next job will be sorting out the hazard light blanking plate as it's fitted elsewhere.

Looks very nice indeed Simon, I am sure that Glenn is over the moon with the finish and look of it.

That is very nice Tom, and Glenn that is the pod on the top of the dashboard I was speaking to you about as well, I think Subaru state it is for the sat nav setup - it could be used for holding a PSi3 or a Defi din set of gauges.

You can all that muck off with mentholated spirits, I used isopropanol myself it stripped it off as sweet as a nut.

Seen the new forester in the flesh earlier, very impressed. The black interior bits look spot. Can't believe the condition the car is in for its age.
